Smoke on the water, fire in the sky

In 1972 the members of Deep Purple headed to Montreux in Lake Geneva to make a record. They went to a Frank Zappa concert to let off a little steam and get some inspiration. Someone in the crowd shot off a flair gun which hit the ceiling and burned the venue to the ground. That night smoke on the water was born.

3 ground and pounders decided to run down to the river to see what was going on down there, 5 runners decided to follow just in case. Once the river was reached we found everything as it should be and scientifically speaking it was just the difference in the air and water temperature that created the smoke like fog on the water. The fire in the sky was the sun peaking over the horizon.

YHC actually heard the story of how Deep Purple came up with “Smoke on the water” this week while listening to his classic rock station and this mornings visit to the river made it an easy title. YHC has been the owner of at least 20 6 string guitars (electric and acoustic) and still can’t play one song all the way through. However Smoke on the Water is one that he can play most of the way through. Deep Purple, The Who and Molly Hatchet are some of the greatest bands to ever play.
